You can use a Pampered Chef Baking Stone or a similar unglazed ceramic stone. These stones retain moisture and heat, making them ideal for softening brown sugar.
To prepare the stone, soak it in water for about 30 minutes. This allows the stone to absorb moisture, which will then be released to soften the brown sugar.
Once the stone is prepared and placed with the brown sugar in an airtight container, it typically takes about 1-2 hours for the sugar to soften. For best results, leave it overnight.
Yes, you can use the microwave. Place the stone with the brown sugar in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds. Be sure to monitor it closely to avoid melting the sugar.
If the brown sugar is extremely hard, you may need to repeat the soaking process with the stone or try adding a slice of bread or an apple to the container with the sugar. These items will help introduce moisture and soften the sugar more quickly.
